The valedictorian, Miss Margaret Chapin, daughter of Mrs. Charles W.

A, we are all' sorry that today is the las. time for us. But now that we are here, about to graduate from our dear old school, let us make use of this last time for a look both - backward and forward; backward - with gratitude, forward with hope and courage. Parents and Friends: You have come here today to show your interest in us. Some of you, seeing us here, remember the time when you, yourselves, stood where we do now, facing the future with the hopes of youth. Others of you have toiled, sacrificed, denied yourselves, thau your children may have opportunities to- day which were closed to you. We are all still thoughless boys and girls; perhaps we have not hitherto fully appreciated your. sacrifices; but now, as we stand at this milestone in our lives. we bring to you' our heartfelt gratitude for what you have done for us. Mr. Leavens and Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees: It is not often that we have stopped to think how we came to have our school. But now that we are about to leave it, we realize how great a part you have played in our education.

Mr. Tirrell and Teachers: Thére is much in our hearts to b;naid to you to- day. We know that in the last four years we have not always been as stu- dious and responsive to your efforts as ‘Wwe should have been; we remember how often we have complained at the hard lessons you gave us, and how sorely we must have tried your \patience at times. But as we begin to look back, we see that your methods were wiser than we ever realized, that in giving us hard les- sons to learn, you were preparing us to learn the still harder lessons of life. And when in the future we look back on the days we spent here, we shall.find that not so much the lessons we learn- ed from our books as those we obtained from your kindly criticism, and wise counsel have' stayed with us and in- fluenced our lives. Thoughtless as we are, we beg¥n to see how much you have done for us, and to try to thank you in a very imperfect way. Classmates: Through four years spent together in hard work and fair play, we have come to know one another well to to appreciate each other’s comradship, These four years have not been with out their effects on_us physically, men- tally and spiritually. Now it is' time for us to take stock of stitution and what we = owe it in re- turn. Soon we are to separate. of us go on to pursue our studies fur- ther and to form new student friend- ships and associations. others of us are to take up our life work immedi- ately. But whatever it is that we are i motto sets before us. And as we say farewell to our Alma Mater, let fus re- solve mnot only to avoid disgracing her, but to honor her in every way by doing only our very best. The Honor Scholars.
